Harvard admitted its first student in 1636, but its first black student wasn’t admitted until 1847.

That’s roughly a 211 year disadvantage for black and brown people. To overturn affirmative action is to allow the sins our past to continue to permeate and poison our future.

At the #SeidlitzLitConf , @ValentinaESL remind us that decoding is important but it can only take us so far. #MLLs need Vocabulary, Language Comprehension, Feedback...and more. #ReadingWritingELs

Bilingualism is a super power.

Among the super powers is to affirm identity! Love this by @ValentinaESL

Bilingual/Multilingual Advocacy: “To focus only on monolinguals when studying the human mind is a kin to how heart disease and diabetes were studied, exclusively on white men under the assumption, that the findings were applied to everyone. We now know that heart disease manifests differently in women than men, and that sugar is metabolized differently in the Indigenous populations of North and South America. People who speak more than one language or dialect, have different linguistic, cognitive, and neural architectures than people who speak only one language.” Marian, 2023, p 14 & 15 #ValentinasBookshelf

On average, students who start the program by pre-K-3 become bilingual and biliterate by fifth grade, regardless of their first language. https://t.co/w8x6VdKrCd

Thank you for talking about doing phonics IN CONTEXT, @emilyfranESL.
Foundational skills are important.

Dr. Kathy Escamilla told us that foundational skills need to be taught in the right context for #MLLs.

Don’t let anyone fool you into believing there isn’t space for you, that you don’t belong, or that you need to fit into a mold.

Embrace your differences and let them shine like the gems they are. 💎

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

You can't define Tier II or III when Tier I isn't clearly defined & implemented first.

If you find more & more kids needing Tier II & III supports, take a long hard look at Tier I.

That's the hard, simple truth of it.

[Aerial Mosley @asmosley8]

@KatelynHand @DrMarkJGonyea @Anna_Sturm10 @plainviewElem You deserve it! You are a phenomenal educator!

This is the way to do it!❤️ #MLsfirst #goodforall

I used to try to convince teachers to use ML-friendly strategies.

Now I co-scaffold documents w/ colleagues.

THIS HAS CHANGED MY PRACTICE.
